Since it is only meant to help in the logging/tracking on the helo/ehlo
domain literal and for maximum backward compatibility, do not have the
[string] element in the domain ABNF, and If possible, to be clear and
specific, add a new "machine-domain" ABNF:
helo = "HELO" SP Domain CRLF
ehlo = "EHLO" SP Machine-Domain CRLF
Machine-Domain = domain [ string ]
This way, there would be no confusion with other ABNF specifications
requiring the domain element.

Yes, you are totally right that this sort of change is preferred. As written,
machine-domain allows text after the FQDN on the EHLO, but I'm not sure
it's worth quibbling about. :)
